T-SQL or CLR
• T-SQL
– Data driven logic
• CLR
– Extend the capabilities of the native DBMS

XML Usage
– Data exchanges - B2B
– Non traditional data - Visio diagrams
•
XML not replace traditional database design

SELECT’s FOR XML option
– Auto, Raw, Explicit
•
Native XML data type
– Columns (2 GB), variables, parameters
•
XML Schema
– Schema Collections
•
XML Indexes
– Primary – 1 row per node (element, attribute, text) to improve speed to the
node
– Secondary – Path, Value, Property
•
Compliments SQLXML
– UpdateGrams - Insert, update, or delete relational data
– DiffGrams - Modify relational data

Performance Tuning
• Dynamic Management Views (DMV) operate in near
real time from internal structures at a Server and
Component level
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
dm_exec_* = Execution of user code and associated connections
dm_os_* = Memory, locking and scheduling
dm_tran_* = Transactions and isolation
dm_io_* = I/O on network and disks
dm_db_* = Databases and database objects
dm_repl_* = Replication
dm_broker_* = SQL Service Broker
dm_fts_* = Full Text Search
dm_qn_* = Query Notifications
dm_clr_* = Common Language Runtime
Slide: 25
© Edgewood Solutions LLC 2006
How DMVs Improve Management
• Index-related DMVs
– sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats
• Size and fragmentation information for tables and
indexes
– sys.dm_db_index_operational_stats
• Internals information for table and index activities
– sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats
• Index statistics and usage counts information for
individual indexes
– sys.dm_db_index_partition_stats
• Page and row-count information for every partition

Alternative Dev Environment
• SQLCMD
– Command line interface for any version of
SQL Server 2005
– Ability to perform any development or
administrative function
– Dedicated Administrator Connection (DAC)
– Default location = C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn
– More information - SQLCMD /?

Patching Express
• SQL Slammer was able to cause havoc,
propagating a DOS and needed patching
– Patch SQL Servers
– Use a non-default port and other settings
• Expectation is patching will be equal to
SQL Server Service Packs or Windows
Updates
• Stay tuned…
